“A great tour, with a fun and knowledgeable guide. The hike was great, with the best views at the mountains and all the different colored rocks. With the explanations of the guide about the forming of the mountains we appreciated it even more. The plain and the lunch at the river were beautiful spots. And the hot baths were a good closure of a wonderful day. The best tour we did in Santiago!!”
Review of Santiago’s Andes hike and Termas de Colina hot springs, with transport, lunch, wine, guide tips, value, and practical advice.
“We had an excellent experience with Andoandes tour company. The owner Ando, Juan our guide & Phillipe our driver took care of every detail, they were engaging & informative with all members of our group, also our guides spoke good English. The volcano walk was amazing, views you won't see from the road, the four of us, all around 60 years old, had no problems navigating the trek. At the halfway point, we had a light lunch & had time to explore on our own. We were happy that we did the hike and not just the hot springs. Now the hot springs, another great experience, the six springs start…”
Review of the Cajon del Maipo hot springs tour from Santiago, with six thermal pools, mountain views, transfers, costs, stops, and practical tips.
“1. While booking, it says english guide. But it turned out to be all spanish..the co travellers and the guide (speaks broken little english often taking help of intetnet translations). 2. The guide admits the tour is his first trip as well. Hence seems helpless. 3. The driver is more active virtually taking over control. He is excitedly speaking throughout, sometime even getting his both hands off the steering... 4. The tour wad supposedly to start at 6.30. I was sent a text at 10 pm earlier night that the pick up will be at 5 am. I missed thay and when they arrive in the morning and threatened to…”

Trek through native forest to Villarrica Volcano, then soak in 20 hot pools at Geometric Baths on this private Pucón day tour.
“The site on a private land is very beautiful. The hike can be a bit sporty with thick snow and an ascending grade from the beginning, but is very worthwhile. Due to the weather the view of the volcanos from the top was obstructed. But the forest with the snow and nature sound was so beautiful that it didn’t matter. On a clearer day with the view the hike must be even more fantastic for sure. Blas, the guide and owner of the agency, is very professional and highly experienced in mountain hiking and trekking. He provided good technical advices and made the hike very pleasant and fun. The geométrical…”

Spend 11 hours in Cajón del Maipo with Embalse El Yeso, Colina hot springs, a picnic, mountain stops, and hotel transport from Santiago.
“Las termas me encantaron; el embalse estaba cerrado pero nos dejaron pasar para tomar unas fotos (cuidado porque podría ser muy peligroso!). No creo que el tour se debería ofrecer en abril cuando el embalse está cerrado! El embalse es bonito pero no tan impresionante como en invierno! El guía Fabio, muy amable y como yo era la única que hablaba español en un grupo de brasileños, habló “portuñol” todo el tiempo. Lo único que lamento es que no hicimos todas las paradas indicadas en el itinerario, lo cual nos molestó un poco…”

Relax in seven hot pools at 3,500 meters, surrounded by an Andean canyon, with transport from San Pedro de Atacama.
“The hot springs themselves are amazing. The driver was also very friendly. However we had to coordinate with 3 different WhatsApp chats and fill out forms that asked for unnecessary detail (including our weight) just to go on the tour. They initially added us to the wrong group (we booked AM and they added us to PM). They also advised at the pickup time that they couldn't find our hotel on the map even though we confirmed the name of the hotel about 3 times in the various forms etc. prior to the tour.”
Pick a desert, a vineyard or a glacier.
